I had an extremely upsetting and unprofessional experience at this practice, and I feel it’s important to share for other women—especially first-time moms; to be aware.
For context, I am a first-time mom who experienced a miscarriage at 7 weeks prior to becoming pregnant again. At that time, I was told the loss was likely due to low progesterone and was instructed to come in immediately for bloodwork if I became pregnant again.
A few months later, I found out I was pregnant and did exactly that. I completed two rounds of bloodwork, both showing low progesterone. When I expressed concern, I was repeatedly told it “wasn’t low enough to worry about,” leaving me to spend two weeks anxiously praying we wouldn’t lose this baby as well. At my first OB appointment at 7 weeks, a different nurse practitioner told me my progesterone had dropped even lower and said she was surprised I had not been prescribed a supplement immediately the first time by the first nurse practitioner. I also had an ultrasound at this appointment which I do appreciate them doing to give me peace of mind.
At my next appointment around 11 weeks, I was scheduled for another ultrasound, which didn’t make much sense to me since we had already dated the pregnancy but I trusted the process. The ultrasound itself went perfectly—my baby was measuring on time, and the ultrasound technician was kind and reassuring. However, after the ultrasound, I waited over an hour to be seen for my appointment. My husband had to leave for work, but I wasn’t overly concerned going in alone since the ultrasound had gone well.
That changed quickly. During the appointment, I saw yet another nurse practitioner who told me she was “not happy with what she saw on my ultrasound.” Saying this to someone who has recently experienced a miscarriage—without explanation—is incredibly distressing. When I understandably became upset, she told me to “calm down” and said it “wasn’t that big of a deal,” before ever explaining what she meant.
She was vague and unclear, and I later learned that the scan I had was typically done at 13–15 weeks, not barely 11 weeks. The “concerns” she referenced could not even be accurately assessed because my baby was not developed enough yet. Despite this, I was sent home anxious and worried about my baby until genetic testing later confirmed a perfectly healthy pregnancy.
During this same appointment, she said, “since you are so obese,” and proceeded to lecture me about gestational diabetes testing—something I had never even heard of being done this early. The language used was inappropriate, insensitive, and unprofessional.
After this appointment, I immediately decided to switch OB providers. I was told it would take five business days to transfer my medical records, and I signed the necessary consent forms. After those five days passed, I called daily and was sent to voicemail every time, with no return calls. Eventually, I had to physically go to the office to pick up my records myself.
When I reviewed them, I discovered another patient’s medical records included in my file, which I believe is a serious HIPAA violation. I also reviewed the ultrasound and provider notes from the appointment where I was told there were concerns and found absolutely no documentation supporting what I was told—leading me to believe the nurse practitioner may have been reviewing the wrong ultrasound entirely.
Overall, the communication at this office is extremely poor. The front desk staff were consistently unpleasant on the phone, and follow-up was nonexistent. The only positive experience I had was with the woman who drew my blood for labs—she was kind, professional, and the only bright spot in this entire experience.
I am incredibly grateful I switched providers early in my pregnancy. I cannot imagine navigating labor and delivery with this level of disorganization, poor communication, and lack of compassion. No expectant mother especially one who has experienced loss—should be treated this way.
